Objective
2 -- Specify locations and describe spatial relationships using
grids and maps. |
- Space
and shape in Geometry -- Taxicab. In this activity, students
explore grids, their intersections and coordinates by discovering
a hidden treasure. This site could be a good introduction
to using coordinates on maps.
|
Objective
3 -- Visualize and identify geometric shapes after applying transformations. |
- Exploring
Geometric Shapes and Their Properties. This site guides
students through a variety of activities exploring geometric
shapes. One of th eactivities asks students to relate shapes
to the two-dimensional shapes (nets) from which they were
created.
